My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Byers. I worked in the Audio-Visual Department and I had the pleasure to help him in scanning some images for a publication he was working on some time in the 1990s.

I was so sorry to hear about Martin’s death. He was a kind and gentle person and a dedicated teacher. We both taught in the Social Science Department at Vanier College and he was a wonderful role model. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
